After months of usage, I've come to the same conclusion as when it was first announced -- Windows 10 sucks. I don't need a tablet/phone interface on my desktop.
Are you sure you're running Windows 10 and not Windows 8(.1)? What about Windows 10 is like a tablet/phone interface?
Their attempt at giving us a "regular" desktop really doesn't cut it either. I do not need the internals obfuscated so that "normal" users find it difficult to affect them as that makes it difficult for IT staff to reach them as well unless I learn a whole bunch of new shortcuts. Shortcuts that are there just because Microsoft decided to change how access worked; not because workflow is better or follows the Vulcan principles of logic -- just because they needed a UI change.
I would love if everyone who posts on Slashdot went to user testing to see how it actually works. It could be that the winning UI just wasn't what you want, I've definitely experienced that outcome when testing what I create. It's not like they sit there wringing their hands and go "hahaha, how can I explicitly piss of fallen1 now?"
Unfortunately, unlike on the desktop side, in the mobile world people seem to feel entitled to get software updates for free for life. Which makes option 1 a non-starter, leaving only option 2.
That's not true!
The same sense of entitlement is happening on the desktop side too.
What is the "other side" to Copernicus' view that the Earth revolves around the Sun? It's been almost half a millennium, so you've had plenty of time to come up with something.
They changed to mountain ranges with OS X 10.9 Mavericks (followed by OS X 10.10 Yosemite, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, macOS 10.2 Sierra, and macOS10.13 High Sierra). You'll note they also went from "OS X" to "macOS".
I don't know of a "Mojave" mountain range, though.

Great, so Steam's price of FREE can go into the bargain bin for the price of FREE.
So they'd rather have unpatched vulnerabilities?
Do you know what it means if something is no longer supported?
But I couldn't possibly afford the ~$100 to upgrade my Windows OS! A bloo bloo bloo
The Invisible Hand of the Free Market will work it out of course, regulation is bad.

No, I guess you are a FB propaganda operative. Or one from Google, they do exactly the same $hit.
Did you press the wrong button? GP never said that, nor even implied that.

Are you new here?
Microsoft could literally cure Cancer and the people here would hate them for it.
... unless they stay in their house all day and never venture outside.
The Slashdot lifestyle!
A little bit.
What's the better alternative? Leaving children in dangerous/abusing situations? Letting them live on the streets?
Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?
They developed a standard for the non-profit USB-IF, is there really anything to be Open Source?
Just a typo. Though I guess technically correct since the browser isn't solely made for blind baker either.
Where are the features that would make the browser immune to malware? Defend from pop-under, javascript exploits, malware of all ilk.
In the minor, security updates, that happen all the time, aren't major feature versions, and therefore don't get articles made about them.
THOSE are the priorities that everybody and their dog cares about.
Sadly, that's not the case.
VR, generic sensor API... it's just bloatware we didn't ask for.
Maybe you didn't, but this isn't the browser solely made for blind baker.

To be fair, the discussion is how much energy fiat takes vs bitcoin, not how much money it takes.
Chrome and Safari have already shipped out the new Picture-in-Picture API

I'm surprised he gets there at all with today's MTA
Do people not realize how much power in in a bolt of lightning?

Nintendo sued Gamevice for patent infringement on the PlayStation 3 controller???
What a long name! They should shorten it to something like "ASUS".
